Lavishly Being Loved

So I met with an old friend from college a few nights ago for dinner.  It was a great time, I hadn’t seen her in probably 6-7 years.  It was as if we picked up right were we left off…only with more maturity and spiritual growth under our belts.  It was great.  She said to me, “It sounds like you are right where you are supposed to be right now.”  I had to concur. 

You see, even though I’ve taken a huge step of faith in following the leading of the Lord in the recent months, this scary and unnerving time in life has brought me here to a place where I never thought I’d be, but I KNOW I belong.  Gwyn (my friend from college) called it a time of lavishly being loved by the Lord!  I would have to agree…

I am sitting in an office of my new job, a temp job for now, but was informed today that the company would like to hire me and are drafting an offer to propose to me within the next two weeks.  I am being brought up by my spiritual leaders (parents, big brothers and sisters) to be a leader in a new ministry in my local area.  (How humbling)  And yes, I am even dating a great guy these days too!  He’s wonderful, more then what I’ve even prayed for…my prayers are being answered.  Yes, The Lord’s love is great; hard to handle at times; but it’s being lavishly poured out onto my soul.  I would only pray that I can learn to better receive.  I am learning…loving is easy, being loved is the hard part.
